Samsung and Apple have had an antagonistic relationship ever since Apple tried to pull one on SS for rounded corners and icon design. To me, it seems that Apple intended to attack Android in general and it wanted to start from one of the biggest producers of Android devices. :X

It's really funny when you realise Apple at one point did use Samsung parts in its devices...

It is literally impossible to have the foresight to to avoid crews timing out. Weather, maintenance issues, and airport flow issues can all cause unexpected delays that an airline does not get reasonable advance notice of. I guess you could argue that carriers should always leave 4 seats unsold on every flight, just in case a reserve crew needs to be put into position, but that proposal is pretty ridiculous when you consider how rare the scenario in which an oversold flight doesn't have at a couple pax willing to take the monetary comp, and hop on a later flight.

Plus, tbh, it's not that millenials don't want to buy things, we just want different things.Like, hell no I won't pay hundreds of dollars for a fancy china set that I'll never use, but I could easily see myself dropping a grand on a new computer. I have friends that have dropped absurd amounts of money on pop vinyls or record collections or video games/movie libraries/comics/mangas/books, etc. I guess the difference, at least for me, is that if I'm gonna spend money on something, it better be quality and it ought to be something I use often.

If the post was written and recounted events differently than the police report (or if anything was omitted or added), there could be parts of it that an attorney could possibly use in court against her.

Utah is a Stand Your Ground state, but the fact that she had a knife prepared in her hand, and the fact that she pursued him for quite some time (which one could argue is proof that she was no longer fearing for her safety) after he attempted to flee, could possibly used against her in court. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the intricacies of Utah self-defense / stand your ground laws, but I have heard of cases where individuals did get in legal trouble for pursuing or assualting an assailant or burglar for longer than a reasonable time. (e.g. Shooting a burglar in your home is generally fine. Chasing a burglar out of your home, and shooting him when he runs across the street and is no longer a threat, is likely to get you charged with something.)

I'm not saying that she is going to be charged for this, as I doubt she will be. But in circumstances such as these, it is better to avoid doing things like making posts on public forums or social media unless you have discussed it with an attorney.

There are some schizophrenics that have almost exclusively positive experiences, but from my understanding we don't focus on them because they are more rare than those with neutral or negative episodes, and their lives aren't impacted as much.

I can't remember where I read it, but a paper I read stated that schizophrenics in the US and Europe were more likely to have negative experiences than schizophrenics in Africa and Asia, who were more likely to have positive or neutral experiences. The paper implied that there might be something about culture or language that changes how schizophrenia effects individuals.

Some researchers made a robot whose goal was to hitchhike across different countries. It could engage in basic conversation and It had a screen to make facial expressions like :) or XD

It successfully hitchhiked across the entirety of Canada and parts of europe without issue.

The researchers then attempted to have the robot hitchhike across the US from Boston to San Francisco, but the robot disappeared in Philadelphia, where it was discovered in a street gutter. It had been decapitated and vandalised beyond repair only days into its journey.

I've been reading a book called Dark Money that shows how the rich changed how we view the world. At one point the common man wanted unions and sought less of a wealth gap by fighting the system. In the 1970s this gap narrowed by the most it ever had with the loss of faith in Nixon and people standing up to the government/ big business. The super rich didn't like this at all.

Guys like the Koch brothers funded "charities" and think tanks to shift the paradigm. Suddenly unions were bad, social welfare was for lazy ass people who didn't like working, and big business deserved more breaks on regulations and taxes because eventually that increased revenue would trickle down to the rest of us according to some Koch operative theories. Many people bought this bullshit and continue to believe it as Fox News muddy the waters between reality and fiction.

We are at a crossroads where things like 3-D printing, bitcoin, and smart AI threaten to upend their control. Also the public is realizing more and more we've got the shaft. Only time will tell how the economy destabilizes and a new system emerges.

Do you have a job? Every day the odds of you getting fatally hit by a vehicle on your way to work are higher than 1:1,000,000 but you still take that risk to make some money, and I doubt that you are making $10,000 each day to offset that risk.

The game that OP suggested is literally better in every way, than what all of us choose to do every day.

This isn't Russian Roulette. This is like going to a huge warehouse filled with 166,700 revolvers and someone tells you that they put 1 bullet in a random revolver and spun the cylinder. The odds of you finding the gun with the bullet in it are incredibly low, and even then, there is an 83% chance that the loaded revolver won't go off.

That's the worst news I've heard all day. With IASIP, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Bojack Horseman, Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, and now Rick and Morty over for the year, what tv is left to watch? :(

Edit: this was the setup for a joke, the punchline of which has already been delivered. You all can stop recommending shows now.

That's really.. tacky? Are all the American versions of car commercials like this?
The Mercedes and Audi commercials running in Europe are much more "stylish", not to mention Volvo's crazy gorgeous commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KquHpO2VWI&t=

That commercial is pretty, but I honestly think it does a terrible job of actually trying to sell you the car. That commercial is 4 minutes of Swedish people being cold, and 15 seconds of even showing the vehicle.
